Wells Investment Securities, Inc.

6200 The Corners Parkway

Norcross, Georgia 30092-3365

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Wells Mid-Horizon Value-Added Fund I, LLC, a Georgia limited liability company (the “Company”), is offering for sale, on a confidential private placement basis, to “accredited investors” as that term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Securities Act”), up to 150,000 shares of its membership interests (the “Shares”). The Company desires for Wells Investment Securities, Inc. (the “Dealer-Manager” or “you”) to act as its agent in connection with the offer and sale of the Shares to such investors (the “Offering”). Except as described in the Offering Memorandum (as defined below) or in Section 5.4 hereof, the Shares are to be sold for a per Share cash price, subject to the reductions described immediately following paragraphs, as follows:


Distribution Channel		Price Per Share
Registered Investment Advisers		$ 952.50
Broker/Dealers		$1,000.00

The $952.50 sales price per Share for sales by Registered Investment Advisers reflects the Dealer-Manager’s agreement to waive selling commissions and a portion of its Dealer-Manager fee on such sales as described below. The sales price per Share by the Dealer-Manager to certain persons who are employees of a Company affiliate (or immediate family members of such employees) shall be further reduced to $945 per Share, which reflects the Dealer-Manager’s agreement to waive its entire Dealer-Manager fee for purchases of Shares by such persons.

The price per Share on sales by Broker/Dealers shall be reduced for certain volume purchases of Shares as described elsewhere in this Agreement, which reflects a reduction in the selling commissions payable to the Dealer-Manager with respect to such volume purchases.

In connection with the sale of the Shares, the Company hereby agrees with you, as the Dealer-Manager, as follows:

Representations and Warranties of the Company. As an inducement to the Dealer-Manager to enter into this Agreement, the Company represents and warrants to the Dealer-Manager, each broker/dealer registered with the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.

The Dealer-Manager shall prepare, maintain and furnish to the Company specific information (in the form of a detailed register or other list) about each person to whom a copy of the Offering Memorandum is delivered by the Dealer-Manager (or by any person acting on its behalf) and, in the case of each person who is being approached as a potential investor, information about the basis on which a pre-delivery assessment was made that such person is an accredited investor and such delivery is consistent with the requirements of Regulation D.

4.3.

The Dealer-Manager will provide the Company with such information relating to the offer and sale of the Shares by it as the Company may from time to time reasonably request or as may be requested to enable the Company to prepare such reports of sale as may be required to be filed under applicable Federal or state securities laws.

The Dealer-Manager agrees to take appropriate actions to ensure that each such potential investor is so informed and is provided the opportunity to exercise such right, including by notifying the Company of any request made by a potential investor in the exercise of such right.

5.	Obligations and Compensation of Dealer-Manager.

The Company hereby appoints the Dealer-Manager as its agent during the Offering Period (as defined in Section 5.3) for the purpose of finding, on a best efforts, confidential private placement basis, accredited investors to purchase the Shares for cash through the Broker/Dealers and the Registered Investment Advisers. The Dealer-Manager may also arrange for the sale of Shares for cash directly to its own clients and customers at the offering prices and subject to the terms and conditions stated in the Offering Memorandum. The Dealer-Manager hereby accepts such agency and agrees to use its best efforts to find accredited investors for the Shares on said terms and conditions, commencing as soon as practicable.

5.2.

The Dealer-Manager agrees to execute and be bound by the terms of the Escrow Agreement dated as of September 15, 2005 among Wachovia Bank, N.A., as escrow agent, the Dealer-Manager and the Company, in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit C.

Upon termination of the Offering Period, the Dealer-Manager’s agency and this Agreement shall terminate without further obligation on the part of the Dealer-Manager or the Company, except as set forth in this Agreement.

5.4.

Except as may be provided in the “Plan of Distribution” section of the Offering Memorandum, as compensation for the services to be performed by the Dealer-Manager, the Company agrees that it will pay to the Dealer-Manager selling commissions plus a Dealer-Manager fee as set forth in the table and following description below. Unless otherwise indicated, all references to “base price” or “gross offering proceeds” per Share below and elsewhere in this Agreement shall mean $1,000 per Share, and all percentages expressed in the table below and elsewhere in this Agreement will be calculated on the $1,000 base price per Share.


Distribution Channel	Selling Commissions	Dealer-Manager Fee
Registered Investment Advisers	0.0%	0.75%
Broker/Dealers	4.0%	1.5%

The Dealer-Manager hereby agrees to waive its Dealer-Manager fee for sales of Shares to investors who are employees of a Company affiliate (or immediate family members of such employees).

1,001 to 1,500	2%	$980.00

The Company will also reimburse the Dealer-Manager for its reimbursement of the bona fide due diligence expenses of Broker/Dealers engaged by the Dealer-Manager in an amount up to 0.5% of the gross offering proceeds from sales of Shares attributable to such Broker/Dealers.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no commissions, payments or amounts whatsoever will be paid to the Dealer-Manager under this Section 5.4 unless or until 10,000 Shares have been sold in the Offering (the “Minimum Offering”). Until the Minimum Offering is obtained, subscription funds received from investors will be held in escrow. If the Minimum Offering is not obtained within the time periods specified in the Offering Memorandum, subscription funds will be returned to the investors in accordance with the Offering Memorandum. The Company will not be liable or responsible to any Broker/Dealer for direct payment of commissions to such Broker/Dealer, it being the sole and exclusive responsibility of the Dealer-Manager for payment of commissions to Broker/Dealers. Notwithstanding the above, in its discretion (if requested by the Dealer-Manager), the Company may make (or cause to be made) direct payment of commissions to such Broker/Dealers, on behalf of the Dealer-Manager, without incurring any liability therefor.

5.5.

Memorandum or any amendment or supplement thereto or in the Offering Memorandum or (ii) in any blue sky application or other document executed by the Company or on its behalf specifically for the purpose of exempting the offer and sale of the Shares from the qualification or registration provisions under the securities laws of any jurisdiction or based upon written information furnished by the Company under the securities laws thereof (any such application, document or information being hereinafter called a “Blue Sky Application”); (b) the omission or alleged omission to state in the Offering Memorandum or any amendment or supplement thereto or in any Blue Sky Application a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; or (c) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Offering Memorandum or the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The Company will reimburse each Indemnified Person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection with investigating or defending such Loss, Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.1, the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such Loss or expense arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished (x) to the Company by the Dealer-Manager or (y) to the Company or the Dealer-Manager by or on behalf of any Broker/Dealer or Registered Investment Adviser specifically for use in the preparation of the Offering Memorandum or any amendment or supplement thereto or any such Blue Sky Application, and, further, the Company will not be liable in any such case if it is determined that such Broker/Dealer, Registered Investment Adviser or the Dealer-Manager was at fault in connection with the Loss, expense or action. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not indemnify or hold harmless an Indemnified Person for any Losses or expenses arising from or out of an alleged violation of federal or state securities laws by such party unless one or more of the following conditions are met: (a) there has been a successful adjudication on the merits of each count involving alleged securities law violations as to the particular Indemnified Person; (b) such claims have been dismissed with prejudice on the merits by a court of competent jurisdiction as to the particular Indemnified Person; and (c) a court of competent jurisdiction approves a settlement of the claims against a particular Indemnified Person and finds that indemnification of the settlement and the related costs should be made, and the court considering the request for indemnification has been advised of the position of the SEC and of the published position of any state securities regulatory authority in which the Shares were offered or sold as to indemnification for violations of securities laws.

6.2.

The Dealer-Manager will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its sponsor, its manager, and each director and officer (and any person holding an equivalent position) thereof, and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act (each a “Company Indemnitee”), from and against any Losses to which any of the Company Indemnitees may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such Losses (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (a) any untrue statement of a material fact contained (i) in the Offering Memorandum or any amendment or supplement thereto or (ii) any Blue Sky Application; (b) the omission to state in the Offering Memorandum or any amendment or supplement thereto or in any Blue Sky Application a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in the case of each of clauses (a) and (b) to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or

omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of the Dealer-Manager specifically for use with reference to the Dealer-Manager in the preparation of the Offering Memorandum or any such amendments or supplements thereto or any such Blue Sky Application; (c) any failure to comply with the covenants in Section 4 of this Agreement; or (d) any unauthorized use of sales materials or use of unauthorized verbal representations concerning the Shares by the Dealer-Manager. The Dealer-Manager will reimburse the aforesaid parties for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending such Loss, expense or action. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability that the Dealer-Manager may otherwise have.

6.3.

Each Broker/Dealer and Registered Investment Adviser severally will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its sponsor and its manager, the Dealer-Manager, each of their officers and directors (and persons holding equivalent positions), and each person, if any, who controls the Company and the Dealer-Manager within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act (each, a “Broker/Dealer or RIA Indemnified Person”) from and against any Losses to which a Broker/Dealer or RIA Indemnified Person may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such Losses (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (a) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained (i) in the Offering Memorandum or any amendment or supplement thereto or (ii) in any Blue Sky Application; (b) the omission or alleged omission to state in the Offering Memorandum or any amendment or supplement thereto or in any Blue Sky Application a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in the case of each of clauses (a) and (b) to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company or the Dealer-Manager by or on behalf of such Broker/Dealer or Registered Investment Adviser specifically for use with reference to such Broker/Dealer or Registered Investment Adviser in the preparation of the Offering Memorandum or any such amendments or supplements thereto or any such Blue Sky Application; or (c) any unauthorized use of sales materials or use of unauthorized verbal representations concerning the Shares by such Broker/Dealer or Registered Investment Adviser or their respective representatives or agents in violation of Section VII of the Selected Dealer Agreement as to Broker/Dealers, Section V of the RIA Placement Agreement as to Registered Investment Advisers, or otherwise. Each such Broker/Dealer or Registered Investment Adviser will reimburse each Broker/Dealer/RIA Indemnified Person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such Loss, expense or action. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability that such Broker/Dealer or Registered Investment Adviser may otherwise have.

6.4.

Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 6 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 6, notify in writing the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof. The failure of an indemnified party so to notify the indemnifying party will relieve the indemnifying party from any liability under this Section 6 as to the particular item for which indemnification is then being sought, but not from any other liability that it may have to any indemnified party. If any such action is brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies an indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled, to the extent

it may wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to participate in the defense thereof, with separate counsel. Such participation shall not relieve such indemnifying party of the obligation to reimburse the indemnified party for reasonable legal and other expenses (subject to Section 6.5) incurred by such indemnified party in defending itself, except for such expenses incurred after the indemnifying party has deposited funds sufficient to effect the settlement, with prejudice, of the claim in respect of which indemnity is sought. Any such indemnifying party shall not be liable to any such indemnified party on account of any settlement of any claim or action effected without the consent of such indemnifying party. Any indemnified party shall not be bound to perform or refrain from performing any act pursuant to the terms of any settlement of any claim or action effected without the consent of such indemnified party.

6.5.

The indemnifying party shall pay all legal fees and expenses of the indemnified party in the defense of such claims or actions; provided, however, that the indemnifying party shall not be obliged to pay legal expenses and fees to more than one law firm in connection with the defense of similar claims arising out of the same alleged acts or omissions giving rise to such claims notwithstanding that such actions or claims are alleged or brought by one or more parties against more than one indemnified party. If such claims or actions are alleged or brought against more than one indemnified party, then the indemnifying party shall only be obliged to reimburse the expenses and fees of the one law firm that has been selected by a majority of the indemnified parties against which such action is finally brought; and if a majority of such indemnified parties is unable to agree on which law firm for which expenses or fees will be reimbursable by the indemnifying party, then payment shall be made to the first law firm of record representing an indemnified party against the action or claim. Such law firm shall be paid only to the extent of services performed by such law firm, and no reimbursement shall be payable to such law firm on account of legal services performed by another law firm.

6.6.

If the indemnity agreements contained in this Section 6 are for any reason unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any Losses or expenses referred to herein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the aggregate amount of such Losses and expenses incurred by such indemnified party, as incurred, (a) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company, on the one hand, and the Dealer-Manager or Broker/Dealer or Registered Investment Adviser, on the other hand, from the offering of the Shares in question or (b) if the allocation provided by clause (a) is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (a) but also the relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and of the Dealer-Manager or Broker/Dealer or Registered Investment Adviser, on the other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such Losses or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.

The relative benefits received by the Company, on the one hand, and the Dealer-Manager or Broker/Dealer or Registered Investment Adviser, on the other hand, in connection with the Offering shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as (a) the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Company and (b) the total selling commission and any Dealer-Manager fee actually received by the Dealer-Manager or Broker/Dealer or Registered Investment Adviser, and in the case of a Registered Investment Adviser, the amount of compensation received by it from its customers in respect of the sale of Shares to such customers, bear to the aggregate offering price of the Shares sold. The relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and

the Dealer-Manager or Broker/Dealer or Registered Investment Adviser, on the other hand, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any such untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or by the Dealer-Manager or Broker/Dealer or Registered Investment Adviser, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. It is understood that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 6.6 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this Section 6.6. The aggregate amount of Losses and expenses incurred by an indemnified party and referred to above in this Section 6.6 shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.

Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 6.6, the Dealer-Manager or Broker/Dealer or Registered Investment Adviser, shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Shares sold by it exceeds the amount of any damages that such Dealer-Manager or the Broker/Dealer or Registered Investment Adviser has otherwise been required to pay by reason of any such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.

No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

For purposes of this Section 6.6, the Company’s sponsor, manager and their directors and executive officers (and persons holding equivalent positions), and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company, and each director and officer (and any person holding an equivalent position) and each person, if any, who controls the Dealer-Manager or any Broker/Dealer or Registered Investment Adviser, within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, shall have the same rights to contribution as the Dealer-Manager or such Broker/Dealer or Registered Investment Adviser.

7.	Survival of Provisions.

7.1.

The respective agreements, representations and warranties of the Company and the Dealer-Manager set forth in this Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (a) any investigation made by or on behalf of the Dealer-Manager or any Broker/Dealer or Registered Investment Adviser, or any person controlling the Dealer-Manager or any Broker/Dealer or Registered Investment Adviser, or by or on behalf of the Company or any person controlling the Company, and (b) the acceptance of any payment for the Shares.

7.2.

The obligations of the Company to pay the Dealer-Manager pursuant to Section 5.4, Section 5.5 and Sections 6 through 10 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

WELLS MID-HORIZON VALUE-ADDED FUND I, LLC

Up to $150,000,000 of Shares of Membership Interests

SELECTED DEALER AGREEMENT

, 2005

To the Broker/Dealer Identified

on the Signature Page Hereto:

Wells Investment Securities, Inc., as the dealer-manager (“Dealer-Manager”) for Wells Mid-Horizon Value-Added Fund I, LLC, a Georgia limited liability company (the “Company”), invites you (sometimes referred to as “Broker/Dealer”) to participate in the offering of shares of membership interests of the Company (the “Shares”), on a confidential private placement basis, exclusively to accredited investors (as defined herein) subject to the following terms:

Dealer-Manager Agreement

The Dealer-Manager and the Company have entered into that certain Dealer-Manager Agreement dated September 15, 2005, a copy of which is provided herewith. By your execution and acceptance of this Agreement, you will become one of the Broker/Dealers referred to in the Dealer-Manager Agreement and hereby make, as to yourself, the representations and warranties contained in Section 2, the covenants contained in Section 4, and the indemnity agreements contained in Section 6.3 of the Dealer-Manager Agreement, and otherwise will be entitled to and subject to the indemnification provisions contained in the Dealer-Manager Agreement, including the provisions wherein the Broker/Dealers severally agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its sponsor, its manager, the Dealer-Manager and each officer and director (and any person holding an equivalent position) thereof, and each person, if any, who controls the Company and the Dealer-Manager within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Except as otherwise specifically stated herein, all terms used in this Agreement have the meanings provided in the Dealer-Manager Agreement.

Broker/Dealer hereby agrees to use its best efforts to sell the Shares on a confidential private placement basis only to “accredited investors,” as that term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act, for cash in accordance with the terms of the Confidential Private Placement Memorandum of the Company, which is comprised of the Confidential Private Placement Circular, together with the Confidential Supplemental Disclosure Memorandum, each dated September 15, 2005 (and as same may have been amended or supplemented through the date hereof, the “Offering Memorandum”). Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed or construed to make Broker/Dealer an employee, agent, representative or partner of the Dealer-Manager or of the Company, and Broker/Dealer is not authorized to act for the Dealer-Manager or the Company or to make any representations on their behalf except as set forth in the Offering Memorandum and such other printed information furnished to Broker/Dealer by the Dealer-Manager or the Company to supplement the Offering Memorandum (“Supplemental Information”).

A-1

II.

Submission of Orders

Accredited investors who subscribe to purchase Shares will be instructed by Broker/Dealer to make their checks (or other medium of payment, herein referred to as a “check”) payable to “Wells Value-Added Fund I (Special Account).” If Broker/Dealer receives a check not conforming to the foregoing instructions, Broker/Dealer shall return such check directly to such subscriber not later than the end of the next business day following its receipt. Checks received by Broker/Dealer that conform to the foregoing instructions shall be transmitted for deposit pursuant to one of the follow methods:

(a) Where, pursuant to Broker/Dealer’s internal supervisory procedures, internal supervisory review is conducted at the same location at which subscription documents and checks are received from subscribers, checks will be transmitted by the end of the next business day following receipt by Broker/Dealer (i) to the Dealer-Manager or (ii) if directed by the Dealer-Manager, either to the escrow agent for the Company or, after the Minimum Offering has been achieved, to the Special Segregated Account as defined in the Dealer-Manager Agreement.

(b) Where, pursuant to Broker/Dealer’s internal supervisory procedures, final internal supervisory review is conducted at a different location, checks will be transmitted by the end of the next business day following receipt by Broker/Dealer to the office of Broker/Dealer conducting such final internal supervisory review (the “Final Review Office”). The Final Review Office will in turn, by the end of the next business day following receipt by the Final Review Office, transmit such checks (i) to the Dealer-Manager or (ii) if directed by the Dealer-Manager, either to the escrow agent for the Company or, after the Minimum Offering has been achieved, to the Special Segregated Account.

Subscription documents from an investor whose check or other payment of subscription funds has been transmitted to the Dealer-Manager (or, at the direction of the Dealer-Manager, either to the escrow agent or the Special Segregated Account) will be transmitted simultaneously to the Dealer-Manager by hand delivery or by a nationally recognized overnight courier company for delivery not later than the second business day after transmission.

III.

Pricing

Except as otherwise indicated in the Offering Memorandum, or with respect to the volume discounts or sales to employees and affiliates of the Broker/Dealer as described below, Broker/Dealer agrees to sell the Shares for a per Share cash price of $1,000 per Share. With respect to aggregate purchases by a particular investor of more than 500 Shares from the Broker/Dealer, regardless of when the purchase is made during the offering period, Broker/Dealer agrees to sell such additional number of Shares at the reduced cash price per Share set forth below, such reduced price reflecting the reduction in the amount of commission on such sale of Shares indicated below:


No. of Shares	Commission Percentage	Price Per Share

501 to 1,000	3%	$990.00

1,001 to 1,500	2%	$980.00

Above 1,500	1%	$970.00

A-2

In addition, Broker/Dealer may waive, on purchases of Shares by employees or other affiliates of Broker/Dealer, all or a portion of the commission that otherwise would be paid or reallowed to Broker/Dealer by the Dealer-Manager on account of such sales, thereby resulting in a reduced price per Share for sales to such persons in an amount equal to the portion of the commission so waived.

IV.

Commissions and Other Reallowances

Broker/Dealer’s selling commission for its sale of Shares will be 4% with respect to the first 500 Shares sold to a particular investor, and reduced to 3%, 2% and 1% on sales above 500 Shares as set forth in Section III hereof, which commission will be paid by the Dealer-Manager. Commissions payable are calculated as a percentage of the base price of $1,000.00 per Share, regardless of the actual per Share price paid by an investor. Therefore, commissions payable at the 4%, 3%, 2% and 1% rates are equal to $40, $30, $20 and $10 per Share, respectively. For these purposes, a “sale of Shares” shall occur if and only if a transaction has closed with a securities purchaser pursuant to the applicable offering and subscription documents, and the Company has thereafter caused the amount of the commission to be distributed to the Dealer-Manager in connection with such transaction. Broker/Dealer hereby waives any and all rights to receive payment of commissions until such time as the Dealer-Manager is in receipt of the commissions from the Company or its designee. Broker/Dealer affirms that the Dealer-Manager’s liability for commissions payable is limited solely to the proceeds of commissions receivable associated therewith.

As set forth in the Offering Memorandum, the Dealer-Manager may reallow a portion of its Dealer-Manager fee (up to one-half thereof, or 0.75% of gross offering proceeds) as marketing fees to Broker/Dealer, subject to compliance with the terms of this Agreement (and any separately executed marketing fee agreement) between the Dealer-Manager and Broker/Dealer. The Dealer-Manager also may reimburse bona fide due diligence expenses of Broker/Dealer in an amount up to 0.5% of the gross offering proceeds.

The parties hereby agree that the foregoing commissions and other reallowances are not in excess of the usual and customary distributor’s or seller’s commission received in the sale of securities similar to the Shares, that Broker/Dealer’s interest in the offering is limited to such commission from the Dealer-Manager, Broker/Dealer’s indemnity referred to in Section 6 of the Dealer-Manager Agreement, and the Sponsoring Member’s carried interest sharing agreement described in the Offering Memorandum, and that the Company is not liable or responsible for the direct payment of such commission or other amount to Broker/Dealer.

Payment

Payments of selling commissions or reallowance of a portion of the Dealer-Manager fee will be made by the Dealer-Manager (or by the Company or its designee on behalf of the Dealer-Manager as provided in the Dealer-Manager Agreement) to Broker/Dealer within 30 days of the receipt thereof by the Dealer-Manager. Broker/Dealer acknowledges that if the Company or its designee pays selling commissions to the Dealer-Manager, the Company is relieved of any obligation for selling commissions to Broker/Dealer. The Company may rely on and use the preceding acknowledgement as a defense against any claim by Broker/Dealer for selling commissions the Company or its designee pays to the Dealer-Manager but that the Dealer-Manager fails to remit to Broker/Dealer.

VI.

Right to Reject Orders

All orders, whether initial or additional, are subject to acceptance, and will only become effective upon confirmation, by the Company, which reserves the right to reject any order. Orders may be rejected

A-3

by the Company or the Dealer-Manager if they are not accompanied by the required subscription documents in good order, including but not limited to a Subscription Agreement Signature Page and the required check in payment for the Shares. Pending the sale of 10,000 Shares in the offering (“Minimum Offering”), subscription funds will be held in an escrow account as described in the “Plan of Distribution” section of the Offering Memorandum. After the Minimum Offering has been reached, the Shares for which subscriptions to purchase have been accepted by the Company will be issued in book entry form on the records of the Company. If a subscription is rejected, canceled or rescinded for any reason, Broker/Dealer agrees to return to the Dealer-Manager any commission theretofore paid with respect to such order.

VII.

Offering Memorandum and Supplemental Information

Broker/Dealer is not authorized or permitted to give, and will not give, any information or make any representation concerning the Shares except as set forth in the Offering Memorandum and Supplemental Information.

Broker/Dealer will deliver a copy of the Offering Memorandum and all supplements or amendments thereto to each investor to whom an offer is made prior to or simultaneously with the first solicitation of an offer to sell the Shares to a potential accredited investor. The Broker/Dealer agrees that it will not send or give any supplement or amendment to the Offering Memorandum (or any Supplemental Information) to an investor unless it has previously sent or given an Offering Memorandum and all prior supplements and amendments to the Offering Memorandum to that investor or has. simultaneously sent or given an Offering Memorandum and all supplements and amendments to the Offering Memorandum with such Supplemental Information.

Broker/Dealer agrees that it will not reproduce or show or give to any investor or prospective investor any material or writing that is supplied to it by the Dealer-Manager and marked “Broker/Dealer Only” or otherwise bearing a legend denoting that it is not to be used in connection with the sale of the Shares to accredited investors. Broker/Dealer agrees that it will not use, in connection with the offer or sale of the Shares, any material or writing that relates to another company supplied to it by the Company or the Dealer-Manager bearing a legend that states that such material may not be used in connection with the offer or sale of any securities other than the company to which it relates.
